Hacking b2g on Raspberry Pi

* graphics are barely functional. b2g can allocate video memory and submit jobs to the GPU, but there are numerous glitches in the graphics pipeline that result in distorted screen contents.
* graphics are crashy. There seems to be a double-free bug in the GLES code released by Broadcom. This bug usually causes the b2g server application to crash within a few minutes after startup.
* the output resolution of the RPi is artificially limited to 480p for the time being. This restriction will soon be lifted after an upgrade of the GPU driver.
* out-of-process apps don't work. OOP apps hang at the initialization of the crash reporter protocol. The underlying cause is not yet known.
* Wi-Fi dongles have not yet been tested. Most likely they don't work yet.
